Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KMF. I Am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Fall Beautiful,
fall weather. This is why we all live here. This
is why we live here. Beautiful fall weather. Dodger's on fire,
Halloween's around the corner, and this is a great time
(00:22):
of year. It's a fantastic time of year. But it
doesn't last long. We'll get into winter, We'll have the
Santa Anas, We'll have a lot of rain or no rain,
you know, whatever pops up, and then we go right
back into heat and exhaustion and craziness. But the best
time of year to be in southern California is right now. October, November, December.
(00:46):
Those are the three premiere months to be here. If
you were born and raised here, you know I'm talking
about when you were in school the shadows got longer,
that signified Halloween was coming up, and as you were
when you were a kid man, I don't think there
was a better holiday when you're growing up than Halloween.
I bet I'll bet you can tell me fifteen stories
(01:08):
about Halloween growing up, Maybe one of your birthday, maybe
one Thanksgiving story, but mostly Halloween. It was the best.
Everybody enjoyed that. Kids loved it, and then at some
point Cores took it over. The silver Bullets came in
and made it for adults. And now when you go
(01:29):
to a Halloween store, like there's one at the Burbank Mall,
it's mostly adult costumes. There's like a tiny little section
for kids. And Halloween has been ripped off by adults.
But I guess by adults that never really grew up.
And so last night I was at the mall, at
(01:51):
the Burbank Mall, not bragging. I've made a couple of bucks.
I can afford a mall visit every once in a while.
And I went to the Halloween store and it's all
a old stuff And the big Halloween costumes this year
are Taylor Swift, the Kelsey what's his name, Travis Kelsey.
(02:11):
There's a lot of that going on at the Halloweens, like.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
The naughty version of it.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
All right, yeah, no, but everybody, you know, back when
when you and I were kids, I'm a little older
than you, bellone, not much, but quite a bit. Think
we'd have to get some sensitive equipment to tell the difference,
but I think it's pretty close. But you know, growing
up it was though, especially if it landed on a Saturday,
you know, all day getting your costume ready, waking up early.
(02:37):
Your friends would come over, they would put their costumes on,
and you constantly check out side to see if it
was dark enough to go trigg or treating, and you
got the flashlight maybe mom and dad went with you
for security and you know, so cars don't run over you.
And going out and being and being running around the
neighborhood at night and getting candy and coming home and
being able to eat candy on a on a night,
(03:00):
you know, after eight o'clock at night. You know, I
don't The rule around our house was you can't have
sweets after a certain hour. I think it was like
seven o'clock. Because my mom had six kids. She didn't
need six kids on acid every night with the you know,
runaway candy and cookies and ice cream and crap like that.
But but it was a really great holiday, and I
think for kids, it's better than Thanksgivings. It's even probably
(03:24):
even rivals Christmas, maybe not, maybe not. Christmas is probably
number one. I think Halloween might be number two, but
it's not Thanksgiving, you know, Thanksgiving is a drag for kids.
Thanksgiving is not a good holiday for kids. You end
up doing exactly what you don't want to do. Put
on nice clothes and be around adults, because that's what
(03:47):
Thanksgiving is all about. And you see family members that
you haven't seen in forever. You don't know who they are,
you don't recognize them. They come out once a year
to see you. You have nothing in common with them,
and you have to sit there with him. But I
do remember Thanksgiving my uncle Wally, my uncle Wally, who
(04:07):
was the closest to out of all my uncles man.
He would come over to our Thanksgiving party and we
probably had like I don't know, thirty or forty people,
big Thanksgiving every year, and my uncle Wally would come out.
He lived in Sherman Oaks at the time. We lived
in Tarzana, I believe her maybe in Sino. The thing
was Tarzana. And he would say hi to all the
adults and then you go right in the backyard where
(04:29):
we were playing street hockey and he plays street hockey
with us for four hours, five hours, right, Just the
greatest guy in the world. And everybody has I think
everybody has that uncle you know, he's kind of immature,
but you like that. Do you have any uncles like that?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Belly on?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
They were like kind of immature and hung out with
the kids.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Those are the best. Sparky who was it?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
My uncle Al?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
But we called him Sparky.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
That's great. He was Uncle Al.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
The kiddies pal, okay, is it a good way?
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Right?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
No, I never ever went down that road. I never
go down that road of is he in jail or
you know what happened?
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Whatever?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
He was.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
No.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
This uncles that hang out with their nephews and nieces
ninety nine point percent, maybe even one hundred are great people.
Speaker 7 (05:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
He was the one that was like new you know,
came to the high school. Was that everybody's like track
me that game.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
He was super supportive.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah that's really cool. Did he have his own kids?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah? Five kids of his own?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Man, oh man. He had some energy.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
He had a lot of energy.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah that that's fantastic. But anyway, this is a great
time to be in Los Angeles in southern California. Now
we don't normally do this at the top of the show,
but I discovered a new restaurant last night that I
thought was the best Mexican food I've had in ten years?
Whoa in ten years? And I'm gonna tell you, surprisingly, surprisingly,
(05:53):
it's in a mall. It's a mall, fast food Mexican
can place. It's called Tiera Azul. What does that mean
in Spanish? Something blue blue land, blue fish, blue land,
blue earth, blue earth, tiera t I E r r A.
What does that mean? Tony? Do you have any Spanish background?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Dirt Land?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You Italian?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Tony, Tony's Italian Italian?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Okay, all right, and he's busy too, all right. Tierra Azul,
Baja Coastal grill. And I I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I went. My wife wanted to go to Macy's and
I didn't want to walk around Macy's, you know, and
I said, I'll go to the food court and you know,
I'll get sick at the food court and you can
drive home, because that's what food courts are, you know.
You go there and you eat and you're like, oh, man,
I really feel like some yeah, some sparrows, yeah, or
a cheap Phillies sandwich, or you know, French fries that
(06:56):
are really too greasy. Yeah, so you just wandered down
there and you get ill and you go home. But
this place is unbelievable. Tiera a zul grill. Is that
I'm Magnolia Boulevard. Uh, yeah it is. Yeah, It's I'm Magnolia.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
All I did was put in Tiera on in Google. Okay,
popped up and I'm I And I'm telling you. If
I didn't like it, I would have shut the f
up and I would never said anything. But my wife
was in Macy's and I was eating at the food court.
How about this. I get my food at at seven
fifty nine and the whole mall closes at eight. I
(07:32):
start eating at eight ten. When I get the meal,
the mall's closed. I'm the only guy in the Burbank mall.
Everybody else all the shops are gone. All the shops
are closed, all the people are gone, and I'm sitting alone.
They're stacking chairs around me from the tables in the
food court, and the guy says, hey, you can stay
as long as you want. We got to the floors.
(07:52):
I said, oh, thanks, I appreciate that. And I and
it was like an opening of a movie like this Loser.
You know who's into his forties, sort of sitting at
the mall alone, eating this great Mexican food. And I
want to tell the world how great this place is.
But it really is great. And I don't know whether
(08:12):
it's a chain. It's called Tierra Azul Grill, and I
don't again, I don't know if it's a chain or not.
But I wasn't even that hungry, and I ate every
single piece of food. I never do that. I always
throw out half of it because it's grizzly or I'm full,
or I'm not feeling well, and half it goes to
the trash can. I was scraping the bottom trying to
get more of that food. And I hope this place
(08:34):
stays around forever. It wasn't that expensive either, I think
for a combo two tacos, beans, rice and chips and
salsa plus a drink, I think it was eighteen or
nineteen bucks. But man, did I enjoy that. And here's
my pattern, and I'll probut you it again. I'll go
back tonight, I'll go over the weekend, I'll go next Tuesday,
(08:55):
and then I'll never go again. That's how I treat restaurants.
When I find a good restaurant. I bombarded in four
five trips over a week, and then I get tired
of it and I never go back. That's you're attack it.
I attack. I attack like I get attacked on holidays.
I attack, and for people know the reference. I consider
anybody giving me a gift an attack, and I've got
(09:18):
to attack back, and I do. If I get a gift,
bo I buy you one, and I attack you like
you attacked me, and belly is I God, I've never
heard that before in my life.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
It's odd.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
It's very odd, is it really? Yes, you've never heard
that before.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
You don't even like when like somebody wishes you like
a happy birthday, that's attacked you, and you're like, oh,
attacking me?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Huh, yeah, you've attacked me, And it's weird. I don't
like to be attacked. And when somebody wishes me happy birthday,
that's an attack because now I'm on the hook for.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Their birth That's exactly what it is. You don't like
filling the response that's ready to reciprocate.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Right because I don't know when their birthday is. You know,
I got to find out now it's a job.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
But yet, when you initiate the attack, the attack, You're
like one of the most thoughtful.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Pause. That's not true.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, true, Yeah, sorry to spoil it.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
It's not true. That's true. But but then like if somebody,
like if Tony says happy birthday to me, Now I
got to find out when that guy's birthday is, and
I got to remember it, and I got to put
it in a log somewhere, and I got to set
an alarm. I got to set a calendar for it,
and then wish him a happy birthday. January seventeenth an
attack him? Is it January seventeenth? Wow, that's the day
of the earthquake. Come big earthquake here in La. That
(10:27):
was your birthday? Happy birthday on what was it? Nineteen
ninety four? I think so ninety two. It was ninety
two or ninety four, because bigger happened the same day, right, Yeah?
What was the riots? Ninety four? I think so? Or
is oj ninety four? It was ninety three the riot? Okay,
so it was ninety two, was that?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Ninety four was No? It was ninety four, Yeah it
was ninety four, yea, yeah, ninety four was that earthquake?
So that earthquake happened, had four twenty one or so
on your birthday. Yeah, and since I lived in Corona
at the time, the Big Beer one was just as
bad as so. They shook my house good. But they
were both on your birthday, or just the one the
Big Bear happened the same day. That's so great, Happy birthday. Bang,
(11:10):
your life is over. How old did you turn on
your birthday nineteen ninety four? Were you young? Eighteen eighteen? Okay?
Happy eighteenth birthday? Exactly? The whole world. You're an adult.
That's so great. What a smoke on you and that
stupid birthday. That's awesome. Bang, And you didn't even have
(11:31):
a chance to enjoy it. It's like you enjoyed half
of it. They got you before you got up. Yeah,
at four twenty all day, yeah, all day. It shook
earth after shocks all day that day, do you remember. Okay,
So the Big Bear one was like three, at two
thirty or three something, there was a big aftershock at
it was later and I remember going back to my
apartment on your birthday and sleep, and the fireman was outside.
(11:54):
He goes, hey, this building is going to be condemned.
You can't go back, And I said, f that I
don't care, and I walked. I went up to the
elevator too, and to my apartments. I was so effing
tired and I fell asleep at around two thirty and
then that big aftershot hit and all the water came
out of our pool, and I thought the building was
gonna come down. And I didn't give an f I
went back to sleep. But I will tell you this,
(12:15):
after that earthquake in ninety four, I slept with my
jeans and my shoes and socks on for six months,
six months after that earthquake.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
That's hot.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I didn't say, let me tell you a hot story.
I said, this is you know why I wasn't hot.
But I slept with jeans, my car, keys on my
on my night table, shoes and socks on for six months,
six months. Nightmare.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
So Corolla does this video blog on the amount of
houses that are being rebuilt on the ocean, and then
number is zero, and there are very few houses being
built in the Palisades or in Altadena, and that tax
revenue is in they're both in the County of Los Angeles,
and they're not gonna they're gonna lose out on hundreds
of millions of dollars.
Speaker 9 (13:10):
It's likely that both the county and the city, based
on the Palisades and the City, Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
They're gonna lose a lot. There might there might be
over a billion dollars worth of real estate that's gone
over And it's bad timing for both of the governments
because they're both struggling financially for different reasons, but they're
they're both struggling financially. That's what I could really use
some revenue.
Speaker 9 (13:28):
So that's what La City Hall has tried to do
today as they're trying to gin up a little bit
of spare change again.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
And not only have they been running.
Speaker 9 (13:36):
Budget deficits that they've had to panic and fix at
the last moment the past couple of years, they've also
just decided to expand the Convention Center at a very
hefty price.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
So so these new fees that they're gonna be charging,
I hope they're like the socialists they are. I hope
they're going after the wealthy right they are. Indeed, the
party meters who park at the meter now, the parking
meters in La have not gone up since twenty fourteen.
It's been about a buck since then.
Speaker 10 (14:04):
Now.
Speaker 9 (14:04):
I mean they can vary from spot to spot, but
in general they're a buck for about an hour or so.
I don't know, have a parking meter. They're going up
to a dollar fifty.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (14:14):
And not only that, they're extending the hours where you
have to start paying them. And this is going to
be the most important thing because the dollar fifty is
really not that big of a deal. I don't think,
you know, for parking meters. But they are going to
be enforced until midnight in high traffic areas. Oh no,
till eight o'clock everywhere else. And guess what Sunday enforcement?
Oh is that rise coming? So those are the really
(14:35):
important parts to this. Okay, Yeah, you got to pay
a little more. You've got to pay more attention to
win and where you're parking.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
It sucks because you know, when you're eating dinner on
a Sunday, you'll enjoy it because you don't have to
worry about the meter. Yeah, you hang out with the
family exactly, and you.
Speaker 9 (14:49):
Always if you're in a part of it, if you're
living Burbank, but you go to a different city in
La County, the rules might be different.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
So you always see ye.
Speaker 9 (14:56):
Who's in your own neck of the woods, right, you're
the ye who sometimes, but you see who's in your
neighborhood looking around trying to read the signs.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
It's all over the map, and it was. It's always
a pleasant surprise when a neighbor walks and says, so
I don't worry about the meter today. Yeah, now you
got to worry about it every day. Every's actual. Say.
I think they'll raise fourteen point four million dollars every
year from this, and some additional fees they're going to
be getting from some previously free parking lots, right, and
they'll be also additional fees for the sixty dollars ticket
(15:23):
that you get when your meter expires. There's those Those
tickets are no jokes and they're serious about those.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
You know.
Speaker 9 (15:30):
They've gone hard after the folks who park in the
bus lanes. Lately they put the cameras on those buses
and those are real act defines as well.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
They send you that in the mail. Oh, you're getting
you're getting a big bill for that. That's when you
don't want to pay because the city is so broke.
They're they're looking for any way to squeeze a few
more bucks out of you, Johnny taxpayer. So if you're
somebody who likes to put your trash can in the sidewalk, sure,
or in the street city like everybody does.
Speaker 9 (15:58):
Yeah, but if you leave it and it blocks the sidewalk,
don't worry.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Don't worry.
Speaker 9 (16:03):
If you've got a tent erected if a sidewalk, that's
not at issue here. It's if you put your trash
can in the sidewalk. They are exploring potential fees for that.
So they want to keep the streets and the sidewalks clear,
and that type of fine may end up on your
utility bills.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
That's what the city is exploring.
Speaker 9 (16:23):
They did approve the parking meters today, they're exploring the
ben fees.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
You know, Ada Michael Monsters with us. He's on every
Saturday from seven to nine pm right here on KFI.
Jay Leno told a great story or a great fact
about Los Angeles. If you, Michael Monks, if you take
the cat you drive a gas powered vehicle, I do, okay.
If you take the catillite converter off your car, it's
a federal offense, and it's a ten thousand dollars. Fine,
(16:48):
but if your neighbor does it, it's just a misdemeanor. Yeah,
and nobody gets stuck that Finny. Is that great? That's
good stuff. I was at you know that. Are you
familiar with the restaurant Craigs? No, all right. Craigs is
a really high end celebrity restaurant that Mark Thompson always
talks about and I've never been there in my life.
(17:08):
We had the guy on who owns it. His name
is Craig, and he's very nice guy, and he said,
why don't you come buy one night for dinner went
to Craigs and it was the best atmosphere, the best food,
and the best service in La buy a billion lights.
What kind of food? It's like everything. There's pasta, you
can have fish, you can have steak, chicken, and everything
(17:31):
came to the table hot fresh. The waiters were great,
the may or d everybody in there loved being there.
There were a lot of celebrities there were there ye
canny names roping me, I think. So it was the
whole crew from like America's Funniest Home Videos. What's the
guy's name who hosts that? Now? No, not Tom berger
(17:55):
on it's the new guy. There's a new guy. Yeah,
new guy, Hispanic. I forget his name, but he's uh.
He was there with the whole crew, and he was
very nice. He was like, you know, he was saying
hi to everybody. Yes, yes, Alfonso Revera. He's not his Panic,
he's not. I think he's black. No, I don't know
what well he's I don't know what he is. But
he was there, and he was I mean, he had
(18:16):
a table full of people. I guess I probably shouldn't
be telling you who's it, you know, but it was
a year ago, two years ago. So so I come
out of Craigs and I don't in Valet Park because
I'm embarrassed that I when driving an old Lincoln Navigator.
You know, it's eighteen years old. There's a duck tape
on it. There's duck tape on it. Okay, I shouldn't
be going to Craigs. Yeah, I should be, you know,
(18:37):
trying to get my car fixed before I get to Craigs.
So I leave West Hollywood, I leave Craigs, I walk
a couple of blocks and I see every car has
a ticket on it, and I see the guy and
he's beyond my car, so I know I've got a ticket.
You see the meter maid meter Maid's way beyond my car,
and every car has a ticket. So I walked down
miserable as hell. Now it's going to cost me sixty dollars.
(19:00):
I should have valley parked for ten. And I'm you know,
I kicked myself in the answer doing stuff like that.
So I walked by a car, every car ticket, ticket, ticket.
I get to my car, no ticket, and I know
I was parked there. And so he swings by the
meter made swings binds going the other way, and I
flag him down. I go, hey, thank you for not
putting a ticket on my car. And you know what
he says to me, He goes, yeah, he goes, I
(19:22):
don't really tell this to a lot of people. He goes,
I don't put tickets on cars. Well, I don't think
the guy can pay it. So the key is to
commit crimes while looking for Isn't that great? Isn't that great?
My own radio show four to seven on KFI in
the most popular talk station in America. And he's like, yeah,
(19:42):
we don't get tickets to people who we don't think
can afford it. He looked you up and down and said,
this guy's broke. Well he looked at the car. He said,
he's broke. There's duct tape on it. He didn't know.
He just walked out with a doggie bag from Craig.
That's right. I was at the highest I was at
the highest level restaurant and now there with Alphonso ri Vieriro.
That's great man. All right? Uh what's the oh the
(20:04):
word on the street with the restaurant. They they I
went back to Rio Soul, the Brazilian food, and they
were so grateful that we gave them a little shout
out here. And they've had customers go in and say, hey,
we heard you on af That was on Sunset near
the one on one exactly right across from the home
depot there. Did was it? Was it easier to order
second time around? Did they change it up?
Speaker 9 (20:22):
It was easier for me because I just asked for
the same okay, And he was not hearing my notes
about how I pick up the process.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Maybe maybe that maybe I'm the problem. He says. They
get a lot of Brazilian tourists, okay that come in
there and love to eat. Have you ever been in
the restaurant business. Yeah, I worked at a Poyo Loco.
I don't know here in Los Angeles, right, yea, yeah,
so you have experienced. Yeah, it was a Brista back
home to college. Wait, what restaurant used out only the stars.
It was a Starbucks in the Barns and Noble. Okay,
all right, that's a that's a hot Starbucks. That's a
(20:50):
hot Starbucks. You know, because it's it's a casual one.
You don't get a lot of people coming in and out.
They're going to be there forever, and they don't really complain. Yeah,
we were next to a movie theater, so a lot
of people just popped in and got that. Oh good,
And it was And it's the least amount of homeless
people hang out at the one inside of Barns andople Absolutely.
You know what I like best about that job. I
like to wear an apron, I realized, and I wish
we wore them here. We should. We should. Sorry about
(21:11):
sorry you're stopping me. Sorry about the red legs. They
didn't work out, and then we'll get them next year.
Speaker 9 (21:16):
With the Reds, it's always next year for Cincinnati sports fans.

Somebody gave me food here at work and it's stale.
So I gave it to belly O and Bellio was like, oh,
it's stale. I said, well, who would give stale food
out to everybody else? Who would give that outdated?
Speaker 8 (21:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
So they gave it to me. I tasted it to
bell and Bellio was like, oh, this stuff is stale,
and I said, wow, bell O never look a gift horse.
And then before I finished the saying, she goes, You're
not a gift horse. This is in one of those situations.
Get you got stale crap and you gave it to me.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Let's go to KTLA. We have some breaking news.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
The city hall LAPD reported this initially as a traffic accident,
with the car going up onto the steps of city Hall.
It made its way onto the sidewalk at this point,
and since they responded here, they thought the car was
possibly on fire, but they found out that there's a
man inside who's refusing to come out. He has a
couple of signs in the windshield and we're not sure
(22:41):
the extent of the messages here, but the man's refusing
to come out out of an abundance of caution.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
LPED is a vacutate in the car? Are you here?
Speaker 3 (22:49):
They're talking about evacuating Grant Park and not allowing any
buses into this area. So at this point a man
solo looks like in the car here, sitting there by himself.
A police are nowhere around this vehicle, so they're concerned
that there might be some sort of suspicious issue here
going on with this car that has come up near
(23:10):
the steps of city Hall. Not quite on it. You
can see there's some liquid there. We're not sure if
that was from the vehicle or something else. But in
the meantime, the man is sitting in the vehicle, not moving,
not responding to officers demands initially, and at this point
they're just waiting to see what their next step is
going to be to try to resolve this issue, whatever
it may be. That's the latest overhead of in Sky five.
(23:31):
I'll send it back to you in the studio.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Wait, lot's see if there's any more from a windshield.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yeah, I can zoom in. It's really kind of hard
to see. Maybe you guys can make it out. I
can see that there's an oxygen tank in the vehicle here,
and I'm going to come in a little tighter again.
We don't want to show anything graphics, so we'll be
very careful. I have, but that's there's cardboard and one
smaller white paper there. It's a little hard for me
to read, and maybe you guys can make it out,
(23:59):
but that's what is a woman on the signs. There
no other signs around the vehicle itself, but we did
get a license plate off my rifle. And at this
point the man is sitting in there, possibly on the
phone with dispatchers, talking with the LAPD.
Speaker 11 (24:15):
At this point, I think the one on the cardboard
says I need need your help.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Trump, Oh D Trump D Trump.
Speaker 11 (24:26):
Thank you, And Dad was right, you know right.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
We can't.
Speaker 11 (24:34):
We can't figure it out, Gil, but we'll take a
screenshot and read it.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Oh yeah, there it is from the desk.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
You're gonna make it brighter for you. How's that?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Are you able to see you.
Speaker 11 (24:43):
Yeah, yeah, Gil, We're we're gonna take some screenshots and
try to figure it out and figure it out what's
going on in the on the from the ground there
with Andy Rose Ramos, who was just re routed to
this story.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
The white piece of paper said, don't want to hurt anyone.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
All right here, let's say there's more than Andy Ramos here, and.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
You can see behind me that car in question. We
saw it all happen. We were here at Gloea Molina
Park and we were standing here preparing actually for our
live shot about something completely different. When I saw this
car right around four pm ram itself into the steps
of City Hall. Then I saw a police officer from
city Hall walk out, presumably to make sure whether or
not that person was okay.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
When he got to the.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Actual door of the driver's seat of that car, the
car then put itself in reserve reverse and tried to
back up, but the police officer stopped it.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
That is when he called up back up.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
And what I can tell you from right here on
the ground, there are now shriffs, deputies and LAPD police
officers evacuating this entire area. That is why you see
not one single person in this park anymore. When I
asked one of the Shriff's deputies, he said, we are
evacuating this area because of.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
A bomb threat.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Now, when I asked one of the police officers here
on the ground, they said they were able to get
their chopper up from up above to look into that
car and saw some large packages and that was the
genesis of their concern. Now we have under this is
all sort of from on the ground. We are trying
to confirm this with officials with the LAPD as well
as with the Sheriff's department. Now I'm gonna have our
(26:16):
photographer Armando, sort of pan over to the right hand
side where you can see just one of the multiple buses.
These were buses that were turned around. You were going
down this route and were turned around. Every single person
on those buses told to get off and evacuate this
area immediately. I spoke to one woman who was very concerned.
She was rushing off of the bus. She said she
(26:37):
was just trying to get home, and they told her
on the bus to walk out and look for the
nearest station and they were going to reroute.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Her to try and get home. That is the concern here.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
Is to get people as far away from this car
as possible. In fact, if you go over to the
left hand side, Armando, you're gonna see this group of
police officers here on Broadway. You can see they set
up this caution tape. They're actually going to move us
even further back across the street, even further away from
this car because they say they just don't know what
this car and what this person is capable of.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Guys, Yeah, anyway, I wish I had jury duty today,
could have got out of that. But who's that working
in city Hall at four o'clock on Friday? Nobody. It
took them eight seconds to clear the building. Yeah, nobody
is working in downtown at four o'clock. There's nobody in
the County Building, the Court building, Superior Court, city Hall,
(27:30):
Hall of Records. Everybody has split so to evacuate the
entire area will take one cop eight seconds and it's over.
It looks like a woman to me in that car.
Maybe I'm wrong, but there's two signs in the front
of that car. And again, if you're just tuning in,
a car has plowed into the steps of City Hall
(27:53):
and the capital of weirdos has struck again. Where there's
two signs in the front window of that car. Right
on the windshield. Looks like there's bullet holes or somebody
has not painted that car in a while. It doesn't
like sun damage on the roof. Yeah, I can't tell.
Is that a Honda? And I can tell Ford Ford?
All right? The Ford focus and obviously the person inside
(28:18):
didn't focus in life. And so he or she is
sitting in front of city Hall and this might be ours.
They're gonna be very cautious. They're not going to go
in there. There's gonna be robots, there's gonna be swat
there's gonna be a lot of people inconvenience by this guy.
And we'll have updates all day long. The King, the
(28:38):
Capital of a Holes, is struck again. Guys that are
always out there that want to have the most impact
on your life, the most inconvenient, almost most inconvenient, they
can make your life. That's what That's what we do
here in LA. It should be Lost Inconvenience should be
(28:59):
the name of this town, not Los Angeles the House
of Inconvenience, Because everybody who wants to either try to
commit suicide and jump off a bridge over a freeway
or this guy in downtown LA crashes into city hall.
It's all about themselves, all of it. And here's another
(29:21):
great example. Man, LA throws a lot at you. If
you're just going to come into La, this is going
to be totally normal. By about three months into it.
You're like, you'll walk by this without even thinking about it.
This night's monny, not even news here, all right, we'll
keep an eye on this. It's breaking news. Downtown LA.
Guy plowed into city hall and now he's in his
car and he's weirdo with weird signs in the front
(29:41):
of his car.
Speaker 8 (29:42):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I guy plowed into city hall and so if anything
or when anything comes up of that, we'll have that
for you immediately. He has two signs in his windshield,
and I don't know one of his he needs Trump's help.
I don't know if Trump is now going to help
them or not. But that's what one of the sign says.
And we'll see what happens, you know, swat the whole run,
(30:11):
all right? Last night, every one of us, I think,
was immediately aware that the Chevron plant had a huge fire.
Here's an update for you. A lot of people. I
can't believe how belly you watched it as well. I
can't believe how close people live to that refinery. I
mean some people live within twenty yards of it. Yes,
(30:34):
a refinery. Yeah, wouldn't I make you nervous? Very yes,
because it could blow.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
No, they knew right away when it happened exactly what
it was.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Got of cheaper housing though there right, Oh yeah, definitely
definitely cheaper housing, you know. I mean, look, you live
next door to refinery. You know, refinery adjacent is the
description of the house. Oh that's money you're saving. You
can go to your medical bills. Yeah, it's going to
have to the chemicals you're breathing in and they bomb,
you know, the explosion patata, Yeah, I guess, so what
(31:04):
the hell?
Speaker 6 (31:05):
Man?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
You know, maybe some people are into it, like you
know that some people are looking for refinery adjacent that's
possible save zero on your bill, like, you know, like
people that are real like tech geeks, like, oh, I
can't I live near refinery. Ah, I'd love to come
by and see it. You know, I bet that there's
a crew of engineering people, that's right, yeah. Engineering, You're like, oh,
you're not. I gotta believe what happened last night. They
(31:26):
took the four pipe out of the eight pipe and
then they had a glass pack on the outside glass.
All right, here's what how here's the latest.
Speaker 12 (31:34):
But fire is now out. We have not seen flames
at the refinery since this morning, although firefighters were here
putting water on equipment just a short time ago. Now,
there have been fires at this refinery before, but everyone
we've spoken with here today says this time was different.
A fire at the Chevron refinery in El Segundo Thursday night,
(31:56):
sending a glow across southern California scene four miles. This
was the view from Griffith Observatory. This video taken at
Dachweiler State Beach and in the surrounding communities of El
Segundo and Manhattan Beach. Residents told to stay indoors.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
I had concussion to it, almost like an earthquake.
Speaker 10 (32:15):
I was looking north and I still saw glows in
the light. Turned around, look south and you could just
see the flames just going up probably two hundred three
one hundred feet in the sky.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
It was crazy.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Wow, that's a lot three hundred feet in the sky.
So if you live north of that refinery, you live
between Lax and Refinery. Got am mighty. That is a
what's his life expectancy?
Speaker 5 (32:39):
There?
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Twenty You live between four of the busiest run ways
in the world and the busiest refinery in California. Good God, this.
Speaker 10 (32:50):
One did feel different because it's closer home. So yeah,
it was definitely a little nerve wracking.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Hey, we should probably get further away from this because
it didn't get bigger. I was just, you know, hopeful
for the best. And that's the guy I want to
be around. Away from this because it couldn't get bigger.
Speaker 8 (33:07):
I was just, you know, hopeful for the best and
you know, right, ride whatever wave that comes.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
The fire burning, that is what a great attitude, like
a California surfer. It's like, dude, I know you look,
you had refinery gas coming out of there. It smelled
like sweet crude. But the vacuum sweet creep. The vacuum
tower was on fire, and I know there was some
crackling going on, but the distillation is just smelling what's
(33:33):
off the marshmallows. Let's roll, dude, hopeful.
Speaker 7 (33:36):
For the best, and you know, right, ride whatever wave
that comes.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
That's right, dude, ride those refinery waves. Man, don't worry
about it, dude.
Speaker 12 (33:44):
The fire, burning through the night finally put out Friday morning.
No evacuations were ordered and all refinery personnel and contractors
accounted for.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
With no injuries.
Speaker 12 (33:55):
The refinery is the largest oil producing site on the
West Coast. It's unclear what.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Yeah, they say twenty percent of the gas that we
use here in southern California is refined right there at
that Chevron refinery. Twenty percent. And last time this happened,
it went out by a dollar thirteen a gallon, So
we'll see, we'll see.
Speaker 12 (34:17):
It's unclear what caused the fire, which isn't the first
fire at the facility.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
I did kind of think, oh, if I needed to leave,
what do I need to grab? And need to grab
the dogs, need to grabe the cat Chevron. We've licked
here for a long time. But they have the whole
fire department which is really on the ball.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
They have a really.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
Strong safety record, and certainly Elsagendo has a good fight department,
so I felt very safe.
Speaker 7 (34:41):
Cal Osha is on site on the lead right now.
There's always an investigation whenever there's a mechanical issue, but
we are dealing with combustible chemistries. I mean that those
are things that happen. But every time there's an issue,
there's a really thorough investigation that goes into it, and
there's certainly a lot of capital improvement that goes into
make things safer.
Speaker 12 (34:58):
Air Quality not an issue for those who live nearby?
Why air quality not an issue for those who live nearby?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
So it's where's the issue for people live in Arizona.
Speaker 12 (35:10):
Because damage to the facility was limited, a big jump
in the price of gas is not expected.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Oh okay, that's good news. No price hikes for this sucker.
It's looking at maybe a nickel to fifteen cents, which
is far better than what we were fearing just even
an hour ago.
Speaker 12 (35:25):
And there have been four fires at the Chevron refinery
since twenty sixteen. The last one happened back in twenty
twenty two. Live in Manhattan Beach, Josh Haskell EBC seven.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Eoit his nooze. All right, Well, it looks like they
got a hold of that thing. So that's great. That
could have been a disaster. Man if that whole thing
blew up.
Speaker 8 (35:42):
Oh bumbo?
Speaker 1 (35:43):
All right, the guy's still barricaded in his car at
City Hall. He's sitting in his car. He's got two
signs on his windshield, something about Trump needs to help him,
and the other one is about his dad. I think,
so here we go. We're on it, we'll be on it.
We'll get you the latest. But a car plows into
the sidewalk at City Hall and now there's a standoff
(36:06):
with the cops. Welcome Della. Hope you enjoy it. We're
live on KFI AM six forty Conway Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear us
live on KFI AM six forty four to seven pm
Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
It's KMF. I Am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Fall Beautiful,
fall weather. This is why we all live here. This
is why we live here. Beautiful fall weather. Dodger's on fire,
Halloween's around the corner, and this is a great time
(00:22):
of year. It's a fantastic time of year. But it
doesn't last long. We'll get into winter, We'll have the
Santa Anas, We'll have a lot of rain or no rain,
you know, whatever pops up, and then we go right
back into heat and exhaustion and craziness. But the best
time of year to be in southern California is right now. October, November, December.
(00:46):
Those are the three premiere months to be here. If
you were born and raised here, you know I'm talking
about when you were in school the shadows got longer,
that signified Halloween was coming up, and as you were
when you were a kid man, I don't think there
was a better holiday when you're growing up than Halloween.
I bet I'll bet you can tell me fifteen stories
(01:08):
about Halloween growing up, Maybe one of your birthday, maybe
one Thanksgiving story, but mostly Halloween. It was the best.
Everybody enjoyed that. Kids loved it, and then at some
point Cores took it over. The silver Bullets came in
and made it for adults. And now when you go
(01:29):
to a Halloween store, like there's one at the Burbank Mall,
it's mostly adult costumes. There's like a tiny little section
for kids. And Halloween has been ripped off by adults.
But I guess by adults that never really grew up.
And so last night I was at the mall, at
(01:51):
the Burbank Mall, not bragging. I've made a couple of bucks.
I can afford a mall visit every once in a while.
And I went to the Halloween store and it's all
a old stuff And the big Halloween costumes this year
are Taylor Swift, the Kelsey what's his name, Travis Kelsey.
(02:11):
There's a lot of that going on at the Halloweens, like.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
The naughty version of it.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
All right, yeah, no, but everybody, you know, back when
when you and I were kids, I'm a little older
than you, bellone, not much, but quite a bit. Think
we'd have to get some sensitive equipment to tell the difference,
but I think it's pretty close. But you know, growing
up it was though, especially if it landed on a Saturday,
you know, all day getting your costume ready, waking up early.
(02:37):
Your friends would come over, they would put their costumes on,
and you constantly check out side to see if it
was dark enough to go trigg or treating, and you
got the flashlight maybe mom and dad went with you
for security and you know, so cars don't run over you.
And going out and being and being running around the
neighborhood at night and getting candy and coming home and
being able to eat candy on a on a night,
(03:00):
you know, after eight o'clock at night. You know, I
don't The rule around our house was you can't have
sweets after a certain hour. I think it was like
seven o'clock. Because my mom had six kids. She didn't
need six kids on acid every night with the you know,
runaway candy and cookies and ice cream and crap like that.
But but it was a really great holiday, and I
think for kids, it's better than Thanksgivings. It's even probably
(03:24):
even rivals Christmas, maybe not, maybe not. Christmas is probably
number one. I think Halloween might be number two, but
it's not Thanksgiving, you know, Thanksgiving is a drag for kids.
Thanksgiving is not a good holiday for kids. You end
up doing exactly what you don't want to do. Put
on nice clothes and be around adults, because that's what
(03:47):
Thanksgiving is all about. And you see family members that
you haven't seen in forever. You don't know who they are,
you don't recognize them. They come out once a year
to see you. You have nothing in common with them,
and you have to sit there with him. But I
do remember Thanksgiving my uncle Wally, my uncle Wally, who
(04:07):
was the closest to out of all my uncles man.
He would come over to our Thanksgiving party and we
probably had like I don't know, thirty or forty people,
big Thanksgiving every year, and my uncle Wally would come out.
He lived in Sherman Oaks at the time. We lived
in Tarzana, I believe her maybe in Sino. The thing
was Tarzana. And he would say hi to all the
adults and then you go right in the backyard where
(04:29):
we were playing street hockey and he plays street hockey
with us for four hours, five hours, right, Just the
greatest guy in the world. And everybody has I think
everybody has that uncle you know, he's kind of immature,
but you like that. Do you have any uncles like that?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Belly on?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
They were like kind of immature and hung out with
the kids.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Those are the best. Sparky who was it?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
My uncle Al?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
But we called him Sparky.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
That's great. He was Uncle Al.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
The kiddies pal, okay, is it a good way?
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Right?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
No, I never ever went down that road. I never
go down that road of is he in jail or
you know what happened?
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Whatever?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
He was.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
No.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
This uncles that hang out with their nephews and nieces
ninety nine point percent, maybe even one hundred are great people.
Speaker 7 (05:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
He was the one that was like new you know,
came to the high school. Was that everybody's like track
me that game.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
He was super supportive.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah that's really cool. Did he have his own kids?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah? Five kids of his own?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Man, oh man. He had some energy.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
He had a lot of energy.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah that that's fantastic. But anyway, this is a great
time to be in Los Angeles in southern California. Now
we don't normally do this at the top of the show,
but I discovered a new restaurant last night that I
thought was the best Mexican food I've had in ten years?
Whoa in ten years? And I'm gonna tell you, surprisingly, surprisingly,
(05:53):
it's in a mall. It's a mall, fast food Mexican
can place. It's called Tiera Azul. What does that mean
in Spanish? Something blue blue land, blue fish, blue land,
blue earth, blue earth, tiera t I E r r A.
What does that mean? Tony? Do you have any Spanish background?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Dirt Land?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You Italian?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Tony, Tony's Italian Italian?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Okay, all right, and he's busy too, all right. Tierra Azul,
Baja Coastal grill. And I I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I went. My wife wanted to go to Macy's and
I didn't want to walk around Macy's, you know, and
I said, I'll go to the food court and you know,
I'll get sick at the food court and you can
drive home, because that's what food courts are, you know.
You go there and you eat and you're like, oh, man,
I really feel like some yeah, some sparrows, yeah, or
a cheap Phillies sandwich, or you know, French fries that
(06:56):
are really too greasy. Yeah, so you just wandered down
there and you get ill and you go home. But
this place is unbelievable. Tiera a zul grill. Is that
I'm Magnolia Boulevard. Uh, yeah it is. Yeah, It's I'm Magnolia.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
All I did was put in Tiera on in Google. Okay,
popped up and I'm I And I'm telling you. If
I didn't like it, I would have shut the f
up and I would never said anything. But my wife
was in Macy's and I was eating at the food court.
How about this. I get my food at at seven
fifty nine and the whole mall closes at eight. I
(07:32):
start eating at eight ten. When I get the meal,
the mall's closed. I'm the only guy in the Burbank mall.
Everybody else all the shops are gone. All the shops
are closed, all the people are gone, and I'm sitting alone.
They're stacking chairs around me from the tables in the
food court, and the guy says, hey, you can stay
as long as you want. We got to the floors.
(07:52):
I said, oh, thanks, I appreciate that. And I and
it was like an opening of a movie like this Loser.
You know who's into his forties, sort of sitting at
the mall alone, eating this great Mexican food. And I
want to tell the world how great this place is.
But it really is great. And I don't know whether
(08:12):
it's a chain. It's called Tierra Azul Grill, and I
don't again, I don't know if it's a chain or not.
But I wasn't even that hungry, and I ate every
single piece of food. I never do that. I always
throw out half of it because it's grizzly or I'm full,
or I'm not feeling well, and half it goes to
the trash can. I was scraping the bottom trying to
get more of that food. And I hope this place
(08:34):
stays around forever. It wasn't that expensive either, I think
for a combo two tacos, beans, rice and chips and
salsa plus a drink, I think it was eighteen or
nineteen bucks. But man, did I enjoy that. And here's
my pattern, and I'll probut you it again. I'll go
back tonight, I'll go over the weekend, I'll go next Tuesday,
(08:55):
and then I'll never go again. That's how I treat restaurants.
When I find a good restaurant. I bombarded in four
five trips over a week, and then I get tired
of it and I never go back. That's you're attack it.
I attack. I attack like I get attacked on holidays.
I attack, and for people know the reference. I consider
anybody giving me a gift an attack, and I've got
(09:18):
to attack back, and I do. If I get a gift,
bo I buy you one, and I attack you like
you attacked me, and belly is I God, I've never
heard that before in my life.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
It's odd.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
It's very odd, is it really? Yes, you've never heard
that before.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
You don't even like when like somebody wishes you like
a happy birthday, that's attacked you, and you're like, oh,
attacking me?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Huh, yeah, you've attacked me, And it's weird. I don't
like to be attacked. And when somebody wishes me happy birthday,
that's an attack because now I'm on the hook for.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Their birth That's exactly what it is. You don't like
filling the response that's ready to reciprocate.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Right because I don't know when their birthday is. You know,
I got to find out now it's a job.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
But yet, when you initiate the attack, the attack, You're
like one of the most thoughtful.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Pause. That's not true.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, true, Yeah, sorry to spoil it.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
It's not true. That's true. But but then like if somebody,
like if Tony says happy birthday to me, Now I
got to find out when that guy's birthday is, and
I got to remember it, and I got to put
it in a log somewhere, and I got to set
an alarm. I got to set a calendar for it,
and then wish him a happy birthday. January seventeenth an
attack him? Is it January seventeenth? Wow, that's the day
of the earthquake. Come big earthquake here in La. That
(10:27):
was your birthday? Happy birthday on what was it? Nineteen
ninety four? I think so ninety two. It was ninety
two or ninety four, because bigger happened the same day, right, Yeah?
What was the riots? Ninety four? I think so? Or
is oj ninety four? It was ninety three the riot? Okay,
so it was ninety two, was that?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Ninety four was No? It was ninety four, Yeah it
was ninety four, yea, yeah, ninety four was that earthquake?
So that earthquake happened, had four twenty one or so
on your birthday. Yeah, and since I lived in Corona
at the time, the Big Beer one was just as
bad as so. They shook my house good. But they
were both on your birthday, or just the one the
Big Bear happened the same day. That's so great, Happy birthday. Bang,
(11:10):
your life is over. How old did you turn on
your birthday nineteen ninety four? Were you young? Eighteen eighteen? Okay?
Happy eighteenth birthday? Exactly? The whole world. You're an adult.
That's so great. What a smoke on you and that
stupid birthday. That's awesome. Bang, And you didn't even have
(11:31):
a chance to enjoy it. It's like you enjoyed half
of it. They got you before you got up. Yeah,
at four twenty all day, yeah, all day. It shook
earth after shocks all day that day, do you remember. Okay,
So the Big Bear one was like three, at two
thirty or three something, there was a big aftershock at
it was later and I remember going back to my
apartment on your birthday and sleep, and the fireman was outside.
(11:54):
He goes, hey, this building is going to be condemned.
You can't go back, And I said, f that I
don't care, and I walked. I went up to the
elevator too, and to my apartments. I was so effing
tired and I fell asleep at around two thirty and
then that big aftershot hit and all the water came
out of our pool, and I thought the building was
gonna come down. And I didn't give an f I
went back to sleep. But I will tell you this,
(12:15):
after that earthquake in ninety four, I slept with my
jeans and my shoes and socks on for six months,
six months after that earthquake.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
That's hot.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I didn't say, let me tell you a hot story.
I said, this is you know why I wasn't hot.
But I slept with jeans, my car, keys on my
on my night table, shoes and socks on for six months,
six months. Nightmare.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
So Corolla does this video blog on the amount of
houses that are being rebuilt on the ocean, and then
number is zero, and there are very few houses being
built in the Palisades or in Altadena, and that tax
revenue is in they're both in the County of Los Angeles,
and they're not gonna they're gonna lose out on hundreds
of millions of dollars.
Speaker 9 (13:10):
It's likely that both the county and the city, based
on the Palisades and the City, Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
They're gonna lose a lot. There might there might be
over a billion dollars worth of real estate that's gone
over And it's bad timing for both of the governments
because they're both struggling financially for different reasons, but they're
they're both struggling financially. That's what I could really use
some revenue.
Speaker 9 (13:28):
So that's what La City Hall has tried to do
today as they're trying to gin up a little bit
of spare change again.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
And not only have they been running.
Speaker 9 (13:36):
Budget deficits that they've had to panic and fix at
the last moment the past couple of years, they've also
just decided to expand the Convention Center at a very
hefty price.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
So so these new fees that they're gonna be charging,
I hope they're like the socialists they are. I hope
they're going after the wealthy right they are. Indeed, the
party meters who park at the meter now, the parking
meters in La have not gone up since twenty fourteen.
It's been about a buck since then.
Speaker 10 (14:04):
Now.
Speaker 9 (14:04):
I mean they can vary from spot to spot, but
in general they're a buck for about an hour or so.
I don't know, have a parking meter. They're going up
to a dollar fifty.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (14:14):
And not only that, they're extending the hours where you
have to start paying them. And this is going to
be the most important thing because the dollar fifty is
really not that big of a deal. I don't think,
you know, for parking meters. But they are going to
be enforced until midnight in high traffic areas. Oh no,
till eight o'clock everywhere else. And guess what Sunday enforcement?
Oh is that rise coming? So those are the really
(14:35):
important parts to this. Okay, Yeah, you got to pay
a little more. You've got to pay more attention to
win and where you're parking.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
It sucks because you know, when you're eating dinner on
a Sunday, you'll enjoy it because you don't have to
worry about the meter. Yeah, you hang out with the
family exactly, and you.
Speaker 9 (14:49):
Always if you're in a part of it, if you're
living Burbank, but you go to a different city in
La County, the rules might be different.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
So you always see ye.
Speaker 9 (14:56):
Who's in your own neck of the woods, right, you're
the ye who sometimes, but you see who's in your
neighborhood looking around trying to read the signs.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
It's all over the map, and it was. It's always
a pleasant surprise when a neighbor walks and says, so
I don't worry about the meter today. Yeah, now you
got to worry about it every day. Every's actual. Say.
I think they'll raise fourteen point four million dollars every
year from this, and some additional fees they're going to
be getting from some previously free parking lots, right, and
they'll be also additional fees for the sixty dollars ticket
(15:23):
that you get when your meter expires. There's those Those
tickets are no jokes and they're serious about those.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
You know.
Speaker 9 (15:30):
They've gone hard after the folks who park in the
bus lanes. Lately they put the cameras on those buses
and those are real act defines as well.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
They send you that in the mail. Oh, you're getting
you're getting a big bill for that. That's when you
don't want to pay because the city is so broke.
They're they're looking for any way to squeeze a few
more bucks out of you, Johnny taxpayer. So if you're
somebody who likes to put your trash can in the sidewalk, sure,
or in the street city like everybody does.
Speaker 9 (15:58):
Yeah, but if you leave it and it blocks the sidewalk,
don't worry.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Don't worry.
Speaker 9 (16:03):
If you've got a tent erected if a sidewalk, that's
not at issue here. It's if you put your trash
can in the sidewalk. They are exploring potential fees for that.
So they want to keep the streets and the sidewalks clear,
and that type of fine may end up on your
utility bills.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
That's what the city is exploring.
Speaker 9 (16:23):
They did approve the parking meters today, they're exploring the
ben fees.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
You know, Ada Michael Monsters with us. He's on every
Saturday from seven to nine pm right here on KFI.
Jay Leno told a great story or a great fact
about Los Angeles. If you, Michael Monks, if you take
the cat you drive a gas powered vehicle, I do, okay.
If you take the catillite converter off your car, it's
a federal offense, and it's a ten thousand dollars. Fine,
(16:48):
but if your neighbor does it, it's just a misdemeanor. Yeah,
and nobody gets stuck that Finny. Is that great? That's
good stuff. I was at you know that. Are you
familiar with the restaurant Craigs? No, all right. Craigs is
a really high end celebrity restaurant that Mark Thompson always
talks about and I've never been there in my life.
(17:08):
We had the guy on who owns it. His name
is Craig, and he's very nice guy, and he said,
why don't you come buy one night for dinner went
to Craigs and it was the best atmosphere, the best food,
and the best service in La buy a billion lights.
What kind of food? It's like everything. There's pasta, you
can have fish, you can have steak, chicken, and everything
(17:31):
came to the table hot fresh. The waiters were great,
the may or d everybody in there loved being there.
There were a lot of celebrities there were there ye
canny names roping me, I think. So it was the
whole crew from like America's Funniest Home Videos. What's the
guy's name who hosts that? Now? No, not Tom berger
(17:55):
on it's the new guy. There's a new guy. Yeah,
new guy, Hispanic. I forget his name, but he's uh.
He was there with the whole crew, and he was
very nice. He was like, you know, he was saying
hi to everybody. Yes, yes, Alfonso Revera. He's not his Panic,
he's not. I think he's black. No, I don't know
what well he's I don't know what he is. But
he was there, and he was I mean, he had
(18:16):
a table full of people. I guess I probably shouldn't
be telling you who's it, you know, but it was
a year ago, two years ago. So so I come
out of Craigs and I don't in Valet Park because
I'm embarrassed that I when driving an old Lincoln Navigator.
You know, it's eighteen years old. There's a duck tape
on it. There's duck tape on it. Okay, I shouldn't
be going to Craigs. Yeah, I should be, you know,
(18:37):
trying to get my car fixed before I get to Craigs.
So I leave West Hollywood, I leave Craigs, I walk
a couple of blocks and I see every car has
a ticket on it, and I see the guy and
he's beyond my car, so I know I've got a ticket.
You see the meter maid meter Maid's way beyond my car,
and every car has a ticket. So I walked down
miserable as hell. Now it's going to cost me sixty dollars.
(19:00):
I should have valley parked for ten. And I'm you know,
I kicked myself in the answer doing stuff like that.
So I walked by a car, every car ticket, ticket, ticket.
I get to my car, no ticket, and I know
I was parked there. And so he swings by the
meter made swings binds going the other way, and I
flag him down. I go, hey, thank you for not
putting a ticket on my car. And you know what
he says to me, He goes, yeah, he goes, I
(19:22):
don't really tell this to a lot of people. He goes,
I don't put tickets on cars. Well, I don't think
the guy can pay it. So the key is to
commit crimes while looking for Isn't that great? Isn't that great?
My own radio show four to seven on KFI in
the most popular talk station in America. And he's like, yeah,
(19:42):
we don't get tickets to people who we don't think
can afford it. He looked you up and down and said,
this guy's broke. Well he looked at the car. He said,
he's broke. There's duct tape on it. He didn't know.
He just walked out with a doggie bag from Craig.
That's right. I was at the highest I was at
the highest level restaurant and now there with Alphonso ri Vieriro.
That's great man. All right? Uh what's the oh the
(20:04):
word on the street with the restaurant. They they I
went back to Rio Soul, the Brazilian food, and they
were so grateful that we gave them a little shout
out here. And they've had customers go in and say, hey,
we heard you on af That was on Sunset near
the one on one exactly right across from the home
depot there. Did was it? Was it easier to order
second time around? Did they change it up?
Speaker 9 (20:22):
It was easier for me because I just asked for
the same okay, And he was not hearing my notes
about how I pick up the process.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Maybe maybe that maybe I'm the problem. He says. They
get a lot of Brazilian tourists, okay that come in
there and love to eat. Have you ever been in
the restaurant business. Yeah, I worked at a Poyo Loco.
I don't know here in Los Angeles, right, yea, yeah,
so you have experienced. Yeah, it was a Brista back
home to college. Wait, what restaurant used out only the stars.
It was a Starbucks in the Barns and Noble. Okay,
all right, that's a that's a hot Starbucks. That's a
(20:50):
hot Starbucks. You know, because it's it's a casual one.
You don't get a lot of people coming in and out.
They're going to be there forever, and they don't really complain. Yeah,
we were next to a movie theater, so a lot
of people just popped in and got that. Oh good,
And it was And it's the least amount of homeless
people hang out at the one inside of Barns andople Absolutely.
You know what I like best about that job. I
like to wear an apron, I realized, and I wish
we wore them here. We should. We should. Sorry about
(21:11):
sorry you're stopping me. Sorry about the red legs. They
didn't work out, and then we'll get them next year.
Speaker 9 (21:16):
With the Reds, it's always next year for Cincinnati sports fans.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
That's too bad, buddy. Thanks for coming by my pleasure
all right, every Saturday seven and nine pm right here
on KFI. It's the show called Michael Monks Reports. You
nailed it. I thing dog with you.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on De Mayo from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Somebody gave me food here at work and it's stale.
So I gave it to belly O and Bellio was like, oh,
it's stale. I said, well, who would give stale food
out to everybody else? Who would give that outdated?
Speaker 8 (21:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
So they gave it to me. I tasted it to
bell and Bellio was like, oh, this stuff is stale,
and I said, wow, bell O never look a gift horse.
And then before I finished the saying, she goes, You're
not a gift horse. This is in one of those situations.
Get you got stale crap and you gave it to me.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Let's go to KTLA. We have some breaking news.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
The city hall LAPD reported this initially as a traffic accident,
with the car going up onto the steps of city Hall.
It made its way onto the sidewalk at this point,
and since they responded here, they thought the car was
possibly on fire, but they found out that there's a
man inside who's refusing to come out. He has a
couple of signs in the windshield and we're not sure
(22:41):
the extent of the messages here, but the man's refusing
to come out out of an abundance of caution.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
LPED is a vacutate in the car? Are you here?
Speaker 3 (22:49):
They're talking about evacuating Grant Park and not allowing any
buses into this area. So at this point a man
solo looks like in the car here, sitting there by himself.
A police are nowhere around this vehicle, so they're concerned
that there might be some sort of suspicious issue here
going on with this car that has come up near
(23:10):
the steps of city Hall. Not quite on it. You
can see there's some liquid there. We're not sure if
that was from the vehicle or something else. But in
the meantime, the man is sitting in the vehicle, not moving,
not responding to officers demands initially, and at this point
they're just waiting to see what their next step is
going to be to try to resolve this issue, whatever
it may be. That's the latest overhead of in Sky five.
(23:31):
I'll send it back to you in the studio.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Wait, lot's see if there's any more from a windshield.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yeah, I can zoom in. It's really kind of hard
to see. Maybe you guys can make it out. I
can see that there's an oxygen tank in the vehicle here,
and I'm going to come in a little tighter again.
We don't want to show anything graphics, so we'll be
very careful. I have, but that's there's cardboard and one
smaller white paper there. It's a little hard for me
to read, and maybe you guys can make it out,
(23:59):
but that's what is a woman on the signs. There
no other signs around the vehicle itself, but we did
get a license plate off my rifle. And at this
point the man is sitting in there, possibly on the
phone with dispatchers, talking with the LAPD.
Speaker 11 (24:15):
At this point, I think the one on the cardboard
says I need need your help.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Trump, Oh D Trump D Trump.
Speaker 11 (24:26):
Thank you, And Dad was right, you know right.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
We can't.
Speaker 11 (24:34):
We can't figure it out, Gil, but we'll take a
screenshot and read it.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Oh yeah, there it is from the desk.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
You're gonna make it brighter for you. How's that?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Are you able to see you.
Speaker 11 (24:43):
Yeah, yeah, Gil, We're we're gonna take some screenshots and
try to figure it out and figure it out what's
going on in the on the from the ground there
with Andy Rose Ramos, who was just re routed to
this story.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
The white piece of paper said, don't want to hurt anyone.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
All right here, let's say there's more than Andy Ramos here, and.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
You can see behind me that car in question. We
saw it all happen. We were here at Gloea Molina
Park and we were standing here preparing actually for our
live shot about something completely different. When I saw this
car right around four pm ram itself into the steps
of City Hall. Then I saw a police officer from
city Hall walk out, presumably to make sure whether or
not that person was okay.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
When he got to the.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Actual door of the driver's seat of that car, the
car then put itself in reserve reverse and tried to
back up, but the police officer stopped it.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
That is when he called up back up.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
And what I can tell you from right here on
the ground, there are now shriffs, deputies and LAPD police
officers evacuating this entire area. That is why you see
not one single person in this park anymore. When I
asked one of the Shriff's deputies, he said, we are
evacuating this area because of.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
A bomb threat.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Now, when I asked one of the police officers here
on the ground, they said they were able to get
their chopper up from up above to look into that
car and saw some large packages and that was the
genesis of their concern. Now we have under this is
all sort of from on the ground. We are trying
to confirm this with officials with the LAPD as well
as with the Sheriff's department. Now I'm gonna have our
(26:16):
photographer Armando, sort of pan over to the right hand
side where you can see just one of the multiple buses.
These were buses that were turned around. You were going
down this route and were turned around. Every single person
on those buses told to get off and evacuate this
area immediately. I spoke to one woman who was very concerned.
She was rushing off of the bus. She said she
(26:37):
was just trying to get home, and they told her
on the bus to walk out and look for the
nearest station and they were going to reroute.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Her to try and get home. That is the concern here.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
Is to get people as far away from this car
as possible. In fact, if you go over to the
left hand side, Armando, you're gonna see this group of
police officers here on Broadway. You can see they set
up this caution tape. They're actually going to move us
even further back across the street, even further away from
this car because they say they just don't know what
this car and what this person is capable of.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Guys, Yeah, anyway, I wish I had jury duty today,
could have got out of that. But who's that working
in city Hall at four o'clock on Friday? Nobody. It
took them eight seconds to clear the building. Yeah, nobody
is working in downtown at four o'clock. There's nobody in
the County Building, the Court building, Superior Court, city Hall,
(27:30):
Hall of Records. Everybody has split so to evacuate the
entire area will take one cop eight seconds and it's over.
It looks like a woman to me in that car.
Maybe I'm wrong, but there's two signs in the front
of that car. And again, if you're just tuning in,
a car has plowed into the steps of City Hall
(27:53):
and the capital of weirdos has struck again. Where there's
two signs in the front window of that car. Right
on the windshield. Looks like there's bullet holes or somebody
has not painted that car in a while. It doesn't
like sun damage on the roof. Yeah, I can't tell.
Is that a Honda? And I can tell Ford Ford?
All right? The Ford focus and obviously the person inside
(28:18):
didn't focus in life. And so he or she is
sitting in front of city Hall and this might be ours.
They're gonna be very cautious. They're not going to go
in there. There's gonna be robots, there's gonna be swat
there's gonna be a lot of people inconvenience by this guy.
And we'll have updates all day long. The King, the
(28:38):
Capital of a Holes, is struck again. Guys that are
always out there that want to have the most impact
on your life, the most inconvenient, almost most inconvenient, they
can make your life. That's what That's what we do
here in LA. It should be Lost Inconvenience should be
(28:59):
the name of this town, not Los Angeles the House
of Inconvenience, Because everybody who wants to either try to
commit suicide and jump off a bridge over a freeway
or this guy in downtown LA crashes into city hall.
It's all about themselves, all of it. And here's another
(29:21):
great example. Man, LA throws a lot at you. If
you're just going to come into La, this is going
to be totally normal. By about three months into it.
You're like, you'll walk by this without even thinking about it.
This night's monny, not even news here, all right, we'll
keep an eye on this. It's breaking news. Downtown LA.
Guy plowed into city hall and now he's in his
car and he's weirdo with weird signs in the front
(29:41):
of his car.
Speaker 8 (29:42):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I guy plowed into city hall and so if anything
or when anything comes up of that, we'll have that
for you immediately. He has two signs in his windshield,
and I don't know one of his he needs Trump's help.
I don't know if Trump is now going to help
them or not. But that's what one of the sign says.
And we'll see what happens, you know, swat the whole run,
(30:11):
all right? Last night, every one of us, I think,
was immediately aware that the Chevron plant had a huge fire.
Here's an update for you. A lot of people. I
can't believe how belly you watched it as well. I
can't believe how close people live to that refinery. I
mean some people live within twenty yards of it. Yes,
(30:34):
a refinery. Yeah, wouldn't I make you nervous? Very yes,
because it could blow.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
No, they knew right away when it happened exactly what
it was.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Got of cheaper housing though there right, Oh yeah, definitely
definitely cheaper housing, you know. I mean, look, you live
next door to refinery. You know, refinery adjacent is the
description of the house. Oh that's money you're saving. You
can go to your medical bills. Yeah, it's going to
have to the chemicals you're breathing in and they bomb,
you know, the explosion patata, Yeah, I guess, so what
(31:04):
the hell?
Speaker 6 (31:05):
Man?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
You know, maybe some people are into it, like you
know that some people are looking for refinery adjacent that's
possible save zero on your bill, like, you know, like
people that are real like tech geeks, like, oh, I
can't I live near refinery. Ah, I'd love to come
by and see it. You know, I bet that there's
a crew of engineering people, that's right, yeah. Engineering, You're like, oh,
you're not. I gotta believe what happened last night. They
(31:26):
took the four pipe out of the eight pipe and
then they had a glass pack on the outside glass.
All right, here's what how here's the latest.
Speaker 12 (31:34):
But fire is now out. We have not seen flames
at the refinery since this morning, although firefighters were here
putting water on equipment just a short time ago. Now,
there have been fires at this refinery before, but everyone
we've spoken with here today says this time was different.
A fire at the Chevron refinery in El Segundo Thursday night,
(31:56):
sending a glow across southern California scene four miles. This
was the view from Griffith Observatory. This video taken at
Dachweiler State Beach and in the surrounding communities of El
Segundo and Manhattan Beach. Residents told to stay indoors.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
I had concussion to it, almost like an earthquake.
Speaker 10 (32:15):
I was looking north and I still saw glows in
the light. Turned around, look south and you could just
see the flames just going up probably two hundred three
one hundred feet in the sky.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
It was crazy.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Wow, that's a lot three hundred feet in the sky.
So if you live north of that refinery, you live
between Lax and Refinery. Got am mighty. That is a
what's his life expectancy?
Speaker 5 (32:39):
There?
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Twenty You live between four of the busiest run ways
in the world and the busiest refinery in California. Good God, this.
Speaker 10 (32:50):
One did feel different because it's closer home. So yeah,
it was definitely a little nerve wracking.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Hey, we should probably get further away from this because
it didn't get bigger. I was just, you know, hopeful
for the best. And that's the guy I want to
be around. Away from this because it couldn't get bigger.
Speaker 8 (33:07):
I was just, you know, hopeful for the best and
you know, right, ride whatever wave that comes.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
The fire burning, that is what a great attitude, like
a California surfer. It's like, dude, I know you look,
you had refinery gas coming out of there. It smelled
like sweet crude. But the vacuum sweet creep. The vacuum
tower was on fire, and I know there was some
crackling going on, but the distillation is just smelling what's
(33:33):
off the marshmallows. Let's roll, dude, hopeful.
Speaker 7 (33:36):
For the best, and you know, right, ride whatever wave
that comes.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
That's right, dude, ride those refinery waves. Man, don't worry
about it, dude.
Speaker 12 (33:44):
The fire, burning through the night finally put out Friday morning.
No evacuations were ordered and all refinery personnel and contractors
accounted for.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
With no injuries.
Speaker 12 (33:55):
The refinery is the largest oil producing site on the
West Coast. It's unclear what.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Yeah, they say twenty percent of the gas that we
use here in southern California is refined right there at
that Chevron refinery. Twenty percent. And last time this happened,
it went out by a dollar thirteen a gallon, So
we'll see, we'll see.
Speaker 12 (34:17):
It's unclear what caused the fire, which isn't the first
fire at the facility.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
I did kind of think, oh, if I needed to leave,
what do I need to grab? And need to grab
the dogs, need to grabe the cat Chevron. We've licked
here for a long time. But they have the whole
fire department which is really on the ball.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
They have a really.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
Strong safety record, and certainly Elsagendo has a good fight department,
so I felt very safe.
Speaker 7 (34:41):
Cal Osha is on site on the lead right now.
There's always an investigation whenever there's a mechanical issue, but
we are dealing with combustible chemistries. I mean that those
are things that happen. But every time there's an issue,
there's a really thorough investigation that goes into it, and
there's certainly a lot of capital improvement that goes into
make things safer.
Speaker 12 (34:58):
Air Quality not an issue for those who live nearby?
Why air quality not an issue for those who live nearby?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
So it's where's the issue for people live in Arizona.
Speaker 12 (35:10):
Because damage to the facility was limited, a big jump
in the price of gas is not expected.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Oh okay, that's good news. No price hikes for this sucker.
It's looking at maybe a nickel to fifteen cents, which
is far better than what we were fearing just even
an hour ago.
Speaker 12 (35:25):
And there have been four fires at the Chevron refinery
since twenty sixteen. The last one happened back in twenty
twenty two. Live in Manhattan Beach, Josh Haskell EBC seven.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Eoit his nooze. All right, Well, it looks like they
got a hold of that thing. So that's great. That
could have been a disaster. Man if that whole thing
blew up.
Speaker 8 (35:42):
Oh bumbo?
Speaker 1 (35:43):
All right, the guy's still barricaded in his car at
City Hall. He's sitting in his car. He's got two
signs on his windshield, something about Trump needs to help him,
and the other one is about his dad. I think,
so here we go. We're on it, we'll be on it.
We'll get you the latest. But a car plows into
the sidewalk at City Hall and now there's a standoff
(36:06):
with the cops. Welcome Della. Hope you enjoy it. We're

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
